In the dark night, I took the golden hairpin and returned to the house, Huairou was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at me with big eyes, seeing that I walked back Huairou said: "Amma, there is a lot of water on this bed!" ”

I looked at where Huairou was pointing. It's exactly where the shadow I saw before. Before, it was because the lights were not lit. I thought Huairou was sleeping there, but at that time, Huairou was obviously sitting on the edge of the bed, which is the position she is sitting in now. It shows that the person lying on the bed before was not Huairou, but someone else.

And just as I was about to use the spell to deal with the man, a woman's scream sounded outside, and the ghost fled. I looked at the wet patch on the bed and quietly wondered if that woman had anything to do with the ghost lying in front of the bed.

That woman came knocking on my door, is there anything I need help with?

Because the quilt is already wet. I changed the quilt and lay down again. In the middle of the night, I was woken up by the sound of yelling outside. There was chaos outside the courtyard, and from time to time there were a few cries of pain and the sound of sticks beating.

I got up from the bed and walked out, only to see a servant girl kneeling on the ground, and Steward Shao was beating the servant girl with a thick stick, and shouted fiercely: "I beat you to death, a cheap woman, and you dare to steal!" ”

"Steward Shao, wronged, wronged, I really didn't steal!" The maid cried out in agony.

"Dare you say you didn't steal? Yesterday you were the only one who went to the eldest lady's house. Steward Shao shouted loudly, raised the thick stick in his hand and struck the woman on the forehead.

The servant girl shouted "ah". His head was bright red and he fell to the ground. Steward Shao did not show the slightest mercy, and the stick in his hand hit the servant girl fiercely, rolling the servant girl all over the ground.

The maidservant cried out loudly for help on the ground, dripping with blood all over her body, dying.

I walked over, stopped Steward Shao, who was beating people, and asked, "Steward Shao." Human life is at stake, if you continue to fight like this, you have to beat people to death! ”

Steward Shao looked at me coldly and said, "If you enter the Yongle Mansion, you will always be a member of the Yongle Mansion, and I have the right to kill him or even deprive her of her life." ”

"Help me, big brother help me." Seeing that I was standing up for myself, the servant girl hurriedly crawled to my side, clasped my legs tightly with both hands and shouted loudly.

"What's wrong with her?" I looked at Steward Shao and asked.

Steward Shao said coldly: "This cheap woman stole the eldest lady's things, our Lejia family has been strict since ancient times, but anyone who steals things will be executed." ”

"I didn't steal it, I didn't steal it." The maidservant shouted loudly, and at this moment he saw the golden hairpin in my hand, so he pointed at me like crazy, and shouted at me: "It's him, he stole it, you see, the golden hairpin is in his hand!" ”

Steward Shao looked at me, stared at the golden hairpin in my hand with a pair of dark owl eyes, and said, "Mr. Ye, is this golden hairpin yours?" ”

I shook my head and said, "It's not mine, this golden hairpin was picked up by me at the door last night." ”

"Picked it up at the door? Is there that kind of good thing? Steward Shao obviously didn't believe my words, and said, "Mr. Ye, can you go with me to the eldest lady's side?" ”

I also wanted to know if the eldest lady had come to me last night, so I said, "Of course! ”

The Roca is very large, and the direct members of the Roca family live in a beautiful place behind the house, and through a garden, I came to the room where the eldest lady lived. In the room, Mrs. Lejia was dressing up in front of a bronze mirror, painting lipstick.

But I look very disgusting, because the appearance of the eldest lady is really flattering, and I don't know how Le Qing fell in love with this fat, fat, and extremely ugly person.

There were two maidservants serving behind the eldest lady, and when she saw us coming in, the eldest lady turned her head to look at Steward Shao and said, "Steward Shao, is there anything wrong so early?" ”

"Ma'am...... Something was found. Steward Shao said in a low voice.

After hearing Steward Shao's words, the lady turned her head to look at the two maidservants behind her and said, "You two retreat." ”

Then, the eldest lady said with excitement on her face, "How is it?" Is it really in the handmaid's hands? ”

"It's not...... It's in his hands! Steward Shao turned around and stretched out his hand and pointed at me.

The eldest lady raised her head and looked at me, and a look of ugliness appeared on her fat face, and she said, "You stole the golden hairpin?" ”

I looked at the eldest lady tightly and said, "This golden hairpin is indeed in my hand, yes, but I didn't take it, I picked it up in the room last night, may I ask if the eldest lady came to my room last night?" ”

"Hmph, what do you say? I'm a married man, how can I run to your room at night? The eldest lady's face immediately pulled down, and she scolded me loudly.

I hurriedly explained: "Big lady, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that, I meant ......"

"Okay, for the sake of you being our guest at Lejia, I will spare you this time, if there is a next time, I will tell my husband directly, you go!" The eldest lady waved her hand and said.

I was stunned for a moment, thinking that my wife would embarrass me and ask me why I stole something. I didn't expect this to end so soon.

When I went out, I always felt that something was strange, and after walking for three or four minutes. I didn't see Steward Shao come out, so I went back to the door of the room.

I only heard the eldest lady and the housekeeper Nashao discussing something in a low voice. The eldest lady said, "Don't keep this matter quiet! ”

"Got it, big lady." Steward Shao said.

"Okay, Steward Shao, I've worked hard for you all these years, Mrs. Benda must keep it in mind, you go down."

I heard a voice coming this way, and I hurried out of here. I wondered who was lying in my bed last night, and who was knocking on the door outside?

"Ye Cheng, are you back? Where have you been this early morning? Seeing me walking back from outside, Tongchen walked out and asked.

I said, "It's okay, just go out for a walk!" ”

"Le Qing told us to go to the hall for breakfast, let's go, let's go over together!" Senior Sister and Chen Jinghao also walked out. After bringing Huairou, we came to the hall of Lejia again.

At this moment, the three young masters of the Le family and their spouses are all sitting in their seats, and the table is full of food, probably some light things, and there are constantly people serving behind the dinner table, just a breakfast pomp is very large.

"Didn't Mr. Ye sleep well last night? Seeing that your blood is not good, and you lack of qi, it seems that you didn't sleep much in the first half of the night, right? Lehao, who was on crutches, watched me walk in and spoke.

"The second master is worthy of his excellent medical skills, and he can tell at a glance that I haven't slept well." I sat down in my seat and said.

Le Qing said at this time: "Mr. Ye, if you think the guest room is not good, I will immediately ask someone to prepare a more comfortable guest room for Mr. Ye." ”

I waved my hand and said, "I'm used to living there, I'm changing rooms, I'm afraid I'm not used to it again." ”

"That's right!" Le Qing smiled lightly and said, "If everyone is here, let's eat." ”

Then, we started to have breakfast, and halfway I asked when Le Qing and Le Jingyu would be able to return. Le Qing said that he didn't know when Le Jingyu would come back.

But I'm not in a hurry, after all, senior sister doesn't seem to have much of a problem now, and looking for Liu Qingqian doesn't necessarily have to be found right now.

In fact, in my heart, I still don't want to find Liu Qingqian so early, after all, when Liu Qingqian comes back, I have to make a decision between Xu Yu and Liu Qingqian, and this decision is very tangled for me.

"Sister-in-law...... I heard that you were stolen last night, right? What was stolen? At this time, sitting next to Le Hao, the young second lady suddenly spoke.

I turned my head to look at the eldest lady, after the eldest lady heard the words of the second wife Han Yue, she stopped her chopsticks while still eating, looked at Han Yue meaningfully and said: I didn't expect this little thing to be known to my sister, it's really ashamed to say it, that is, some money was stolen. ”

"Is it just some money? Don't you have a golden hairpin or something? Han Yue asked.

Hearing the three words golden hairpin, the three young masters of the Le family turned their heads to look at the eldest lady together, and the three of them had different faces, as if they cared about the golden hairpin.

The eldest lady said quietly: "Where there is a golden hairpin, it's just some money." Sister, you seem to be very concerned about the golden hairpin? ”

Han Yue withdrew her gaze from the eldest lady and said, "Oh, it turns out that it's just some money, it seems that those servants are really unreliable when they chew their tongues." ”

"Of course, those servants outside are still saying every day that the master has taken a fancy to the second wife and wants you to become the head of the family!" The eldest lady said coldly.

Hearing the eldest lady's words, all eyes looked towards the second wife again, and the second wife's face Han Yue's face fell. Just wanted to speak, Le Qing stretched out his hand to stop her, and said, "Forget it, forget it, there are still guests here, if it turns out to be some misunderstanding, don't continue this topic." ”

After eating, on the way back, I kept thinking about what had just happened. The eldest lady was obviously stolen from the golden hairpin, but when the second wife asked her, she refused to admit it, which couldn't help but make me wonder, is there any secret hidden in this golden hairpin?

After moving away from the hall, I stopped a maidservant who came from the hall and asked, "What is the golden hairpin that the second lady said about in the hall just now?" ”

When the servant girl heard my question, she looked me up and down, snorted coldly, and continued to walk forward. I took a hundred dollars out of my pocket and handed it to her.

The maid immediately smiled and said: "The golden hairpin is a token handed down by the ancestors of the Le family, if anyone gets the golden hairpin, it means that who is the person favored by the owner of the Le family, she and her husband will become the owners of the next generation of the Le family after the death of the owner of the Le family." ”

It turns out that this is the case, Lejia has three brothers, Leqing, Artemisia and Lexin, and after Le Jingyu dies, there must be someone in charge of such a big Lejia. Now it seems that the golden hairpin is in the hands of Mrs. Lejia, so the next generation of family heads should be Mrs. Lejia and the eldest young master Leqing, why doesn't the eldest lady dare to say it?

"I still have news about the golden hairpin here, do you want to know?" The maid looked at me and asked.

"You say!" I said.

The maidservant did not speak in a hurry, but looked at me closely. Huge strokes.
